This report monitors the evolution of poverty in Ireland from 2004 to 2007. This period marks the end of the first ten year National Anti?Poverty Strategy (NAPS) in Ireland which ran from 1997 to 2007, and marks the beginning ...

Since early 2008 there has been a severe deterioration in the Irish economy,
which has had major knock-on implications for the labour market.
Unemployment increased from around 4.5 per cent at the end of 2007 to over ...

Literacy and numeracy are key factors shaping individual life chances and their impact is particularly critical in the labour market. Large-scale sweeping changes
in the organisation of work, including the shift from ...

International research has indicated the importance of school design for
pupil engagement, learning and achievement. Aspects of the school
environment, including school and classroom density, class size, quality of
lighting, ...

The first observable transient (lifetime > 50 ns)
on flash photolysis of Cr(CO), is Cr(CO),, which is the
precursor of two species previously assigned to the D,,
and C,, forms of Cr(CO),, and now shown to arise ...

Photochemistry of Compounds of the Main Group Elements BY J. M. KELLY 1 Introduction Reports on the photochemistry of inorganic anions are discussed in the next section; those dealing with other compounds are considered ...

The molecular structure and chemical and photochemical reactions of [Ru(bpy)2(CO)Cl]+ClO4?, which has been isolated from the reaction of ruthenium trichloride and 2,2?-bipyridyl(bpy) in dimethylformamide, are described.

The thermal reaction of [Ti(CH,Ph)CI(q-C5H5)2] with CCI4 in r2HSb] enzene solution gives enhanced
signals for both the starting titanium compound and product PhCH2CCI3, but not in titanocene dichloride or
bibenzyl which ...

In order to measure output of medical research in the
United Kingdom, the computerised database of Excerpta
Medica was used to count the number of publications
emanating from each centre of research based on a
medical ...

A female patient who presented for the first time at the age of 19 with oculomucocutaneous syndrome was found to have an absolute deficiency of neutrophil peroxide production. Neutrophil peroxide production as measured by ...

We report an experimental observation of a blue shift in the n=1 heavy-hole exciton line of In0.53Ga0.47As/InP multiple quantum wells resulting from a picosecond photoexcitation in the transparent spectral region. The ...

We have investigated Cdx Zn1?xTe/ZnTe multiple quantum wells using absorption techniques. We have observed sharp excitonic features at low temperatures which strongly broaden at room temperature. The strength of the ...

An operational semantics for an algebraic theory of concurrency is developed that incorporates a notion of priority into the definition of the execution of actions. An equivalence based on strong observational equivalences ...

T helper and suppressor cell control of autologous immunoglobulin production was measured in 14 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) using autologous B cells or monocytes to stimulate regulatory T-cell activity. A pronounced ...

We report the observation of frequency locking and quasiperiodicity in a modulated external cavity injection laser. The order of appearance of the frequency-locked regions follows a Farey sequence as the modulation frequency ...

A simple process algebra which supports a form of refinement of an action by a process is presented and the question of an appropriate equivalence relation for it is addressed. The main result is that an adequate equivalence ...

We report a 27:l switching contrast ratio with 2.5 mW of power in an asymmetric Fabry-
Perot Ctalon. The modulation is achieved by optical saturation of the excitonic
absorption profile of a 95 A GaAs/AlGaAs multiple ...

We observe free excitons in absorption and emission at room temperature in Cd0,2sZne.7sTe/
ZnTe multiple quantum wells. A large overlap between luminescence and absorption
peaks observed at 10 K is maintained up to room ...
